One of the most fundamental components of healthcare system on each country is blood supply chain management. This chain is comprised of two significant components including collecting donor’ bloods and supplying blood’s products. The main purpose of this paper is to concentrate on supplying blood products and present a novel constrained bi-objective mathematical model for a two-echelon blood s...

this research provides an optimization tool for use by supply chain managers in the design and operation of manufacturing- distribution networks under uncertain demand conditions. the problem under consideration consists of determining the supply chain infrastructure; raw material purchases, shipments, and inventories; and finished product production quantities, inventories, and shipments neede...

This study aims to develop a new one-vendor multiple-buyers integrated inventory model. We believe that our proposed model can forecast the demand of all buyers in coming future by using data have already existed and minimize total cost-for both vendors. In recent days, Markov chain approach has played one critical methods forecasting Supply Chain Management (SCM) field. The this is analysis sp...

The type of industry we want to analyze in this paper is comprised of multiple manufacturers, each selling differentiated products through multiple exclusive retailers. The retailers are faced with fixed market prices but uncertain demands. Industries falling in this category include telecommunication industry, fast food chains, gasoline, etc. The manufacturers competition, the retailers compet...

    supply chain network   receding horizon control demand move suppression term   Supply chain networks are interconnection and dynamics of a demand network. Example subsystems, referred to as stages, include raw materials, distributors of the raw materials, manufacturers, distributors of the manufactured products, retailers, and customers. The main objectives of the control strategy for the s...

The photonic component industry is a highly innovative industry with a large value chain. In order to ensure the growth of the industry much effort must be devoted to road mapping activities. In such activities demand and price evolution forecasting tools can prove quite useful in order to help in the roadmap refinement and update process. This paper attempts to provide useful guidelines in roa...

Mitochondria play critical roles in meeting cellular energy demand, in cell death, and in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and stress signaling. Most Caenorhabditis elegans loss-of-function (lf) mutants in nuclear-encoded components of the respiratory chain are non-viable, emphasizing the importance of respiratory function. Chromophore-Assisted Light Inactivation (CALI) using genetically-encoded p...

The revenue management concept and techniques are applied to model the coordination of supply chain elements. The fundamental premise of this approach is synchronization of a group of business entities consist-ing of a manufacturer and multiple suppliers to achieve an optimal supply chain capacity plans. The output of the supply chain can be various products and thus it is measured in terms of ...
